Morrissey slams President Obama's turkey pardon

Morrissey is making it perfectly clear that he doesn't see anything funny in President Obama's Thanksgiving turkey pardon.

The singer posted a scathing statement dubbed "Thankskilling" on his "True to You" website Tuesday, slamming the president for openly supporting "a viciously cruel and environmentally irresponsible industry."

Morrissey accuses Obama of laughing while 45 million birds are "horrifically abused." He also uses statistics from PETA to argue that turkey meat is one of the nation's "top killers" because all the saturated animal fats and cholesterol cause heart attacks and strokes.
